Surrounded by the mystery of a wilderness carved by a river

Sermons in Stones is a collection of eighteen beautifully-crafted short stories, anecdotes, and personal narratives offering thoughtful and profound reflection on the author’s life experiences in a “mountain wilderness carved by a river”.
“Dave Ammons lyrical description is life on the bend in his childhood river is memorizing and captivating, luring you into his own experiences and the lessons they’ve provided to him. I am not a fisherman. Aside from a few afternoons with my grandfather as a child, it just wasn’t something I had the chance to do. But I love nature and being outdoors. Sermons in Stones is more than a view into Ammons’s world, he draws you in like you are lying on the top of that boulder peering over the edge right next to him. It’s the perfect book for a short mental vacation away from traffic, finding a parking spot, or any thing else that just seems so important yet really doesn’t matter.”
– P. Bartolini
